AMI is an entrepreneurial African social enterprise pioneering a scalable approach to workplace learning for Africa. AMI combines cutting-edge technology, world-class content, experiential workshops and an innovative peer accountability process, helping groups of managers, professionals and entrepreneurs apply what they learn on the job to drive performance and build their organisations.

AMI is expanding rapidly. We have successfully raised investment, established offices in Nairobi and South Africa, engaged clients across the continent, and reached over 20,000 people through 70 programmes in 11 countries. AMI has the opportunity to expand into Rwanda to deliver a large project to train supervisors and entrepreneurs in the hospitality sector. The programme, funded by a high-profile foundation, will leverage AMI’s tried-and-tested blended learning methodology to empower young people in Rwanda who want to advance their career or build their businesses in the hospitality and tourism sector.

The Country Manager – Rwanda will oversee the entire programme while also setting up AMI’s presence in Rwanda more broadly. S/he will be responsible for setting up an office in Kigali, hiring and building the team, developing our client base, and establishing processes by which AMI could expand into other countries more rapidly in future.

This is a chance for an outstanding entrepreneurial leader to be part of Africa’s transformation, and to help shape, build and scale one of the continent’s most innovative social impact businesses.

The Country Manager – Rwanda must be a practical leader with a proven track record of working with high-growth entrepreneurial businesses in Africa. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic international team, and will lead execution of AMI’s strategy and drive growth on the ground in Rwanda.

We are looking for someone with an impressive track record in sales and general management. Leadership experience at a senior level in a high-growth entrepreneurial environment is a must, and experience with learning and development, management education and training or enterprise development is strongly preferred. The candidate must be based in, or willing to relocate to Kigali.

Research: Review research conducted by AMI learning team (and external consultants) and identify where it needs to be refined to identify the specific niche focus of this programme.

Partnerships: Build industry partnerships to ensure content relevance, support from employers (to allow their staff to take part in the programme), and for eventual placement of participants in practicums. The project will likely also use a local training provider to deliver the in-person workshops, and this partnership will need to be well managed. Managing complex programme / initiative partnerships and key regional, national, and international stakeholders.

Learning design: Work with AMI’s learning team (and external consultants) to design a high-impact blended learning programme, using AMI’s platform, content methodology and train-the-trainer facilitator approach. This will include coordinating the work of the learning team, ensuring deadlines and deliverables are met and ensuring consultation and input is received from the Chief Learning Officer and Chief Product Officer. Design impact framework to measure success. Define all key metrics and success measures including assessing impact of learning interventions, quality of facilitation and detailed metrics on role types and placement.

Content development: Work with AMI’s content team and external learning consultants to develop a series of engaging online courses and accompanying learning material for use in the programme.

Programme management: Oversee implementation of the learning programme, including logistics management, and developing a process for and managing the recruitment, training and quality assurance of facilitators. Managing participant outreach including identifying participants and managing entry in to the programme.
